Hi, everybody:

        Well, I don't know if the subject header is totally correct,
because I'm not sure whether the ANSI standard requires what I don't
want to do -- put a "(void)" in front of every function call where I'm
throwing away the return value.  It's a real pain to prefix all the
"printf()"'s, "gets()"'s, etc. with "(void)", so could someone tell me
whether this is necessary for ANSI compatibility, and whether it is good
programming style?
